Mr. Black et al.,
I was highly critical of the investigation. Ask Walt Andrus,
Bruce Maccabee, Marge Christensen, or anyone else involved with
MUFON at that time.
There was a great deal of internal dissension among active MUFON
people, including the Saiisberrys with whom I communicated a few
times.
